Very still and quiet tank!

Well I've searched and I can't find what I've done wrong
I followed a Tank tut but my tank just sits there...
Also after adding the tank code to the script the objectives dont work...
If someone could take a look that would be awesome, I want to kill this tank!
The errors in the console after loading are:

hmm, above the script error part, it shows the line that has the problem.. can you check what it is again?
lines above
Posted: Tue Aug 19, 2003 1:15 am
by bluelamb
The lines above the error were:
if(self.spawn_left ==NIL || self.spawn_left <= 0) (global/mg42_active.scr, 151)
if(self.spawn_left=NIL self.spawn_left^
is this refering to something in the mg42 script?
Thanks

Yeah it does. Usually, these scripts work, and if they don't, it's usually because the LD (level designer) did something wrong... look over the directions at the top of the mg42active script again and make sure you did everything right.
er...

hmm thats wierd, they didnt include the directions

don't want to put you through all that agony, ill post the script here. make sure you followed the header directions correctly.
hmm thats wierd, they didnt include the directions
. might as well not post it.

Ok, I followed the tuts on .map for making an mg42 with spotter and in the map they are working just fine, although the gunner tends to jump up onto the sandbags that the gun is on before getting into the firing position.
The problem is now that I have inserted the script for the tank, the tank doesn't work and neither do the objectives.
having said all that...
I have three mg42s, targetnames mg42, mg42b and mg42c.
they all have spotters and gunners that spawn...
What else can I tell you that would help?
Thx

ok first one:
$spawn 2
$targetname mg42
angles 0.00 135.00 0.00
classname turretweapon_german_mg42
model statweapons/mg42_gun.tik
origin -2435.00 4538.00 27.00
pitchcap -90 90 0
scale 1.0
spawn
testanim idle
second one:
$spawn 2
$targetname mg42b
angles 0.00 135.00 0.00
classname turretweapon_german_mg42
model statweapons/mg42_gun.tik
origin 415.00 5023.00 32.00
pitchcap -45 45 0
scale 1.0
spawn
testanim idle
third one:
$spawn 2
$targetname mg42c
angles 0.00 135.00 0.00
classname turretweapon_german_mg42
model statweapons/mg42_gun.ti
origin 2507.00 1968.00 23.00
pitchcap -45 45 0
scale 1.0
spawn
testanim idle
Well thats it. the plain spawn value isn't doing anything...
At first I copied the first mg42 and then changed the values but then I had problems so i rebuilt each from scratch so they should be fine...
Any suggestions?
Thanks
